Muling aasahan ng TNT Tropang 5G si import Chris McCullough katapat si Patrick Gardner ng Meralco sa Game 6 ng kanilang semifinals series.

MANILA, Philippines — Ang pagtatakda sa ka­nilang championship duel ang pakay ng Barangay Ginebra at nagdedepensang TNT Tropang 5G, habang determinado ang Rain or Shine at Meralco na makahirit ng Game Seven sa Season 50 PBA Commissioner’s Cup semifinal series.

Lalabanan ng Gin Kings ang Elasto Painters nga­yong alas-5:15 ng hapon at haharapin ng Tropang 5G ang Bolts sa alas-7:30 ng gabi sa krusyal na Game Six sa Ynares Center sa Antipolo City.

Kinuha ng Ginebra at TNT ang 3-2 lead sa kani-kanilang best-of-seven semis showdown matapos talunin ang Rain or Shine, 111-104, at Meralco, 103-95, sa Game Five, ayon sa pagkakasunod.

“We’re not going to be happy with this win. We’ve been in this situation before. We led 3-2 and then got beat. Once by San Miguel, once by TNT,” sabi ni Gin Kings coach Tim Cone.

“It’s too easy to get e­uphoric with the 3-2 lead. We’re not,” dagdag ng 68-anyos na 25-time champion mentor sa pagharap nila sa Elasto Painters ni coach Yeng Guiao.

Puntirya ng Ginebra ang kanilang ika-33 finals appearance target ang pang-16 korona sa muling pagsagupa sa Rain or Shine.

“I think at this point in the conference, when you’re in the semis and playing every other day, everybody is kind of feeling the pain — sore bodies, jammed fingers, maybe a tweaked ankle. It’s an even playing field,” ani Gin Kings resident import Justin Brownlee sa Elasto Painters.

Bukod kay Brownlee, muli ring aasahan ng Ginebra sina RJ Abarrientos, Scottie Thompson, Japeth Aguilar, Troy Rosario, Stephen Holt at Ralph Cu.

Itatapat ng Rain or Shi­ne sina import Jaylen Johnson, Adrian Nocum, Jhonard Clarito, Andrei Caracut, Gian Mamu­yac, Leonard Santillan at Caelan Tiongson.

Hangad naman ng Tropang 5G ang kanilang ika-27 finals stint at nakatutok sa pang-12 titulo sa pakikipag­tuos sa Bolts.
